What Place Is So Rugged And So

Mirthfulness Is In The Mind, And You Cannot Get It Out. It Is The Blessed Spirit That God Has Set In The Mind To Dust It, To Enliven Its Dark Places, And To Drive Asceticism, Like A Foul Fiend, Out At The Back Door.

Men Are Not Put Into This World To Be Everlastingly Played On By The Harping Fingers Of Joy.
